Tipping
Tips or Tipping in the ‘viva.com | Terminal’ application allow you to collect tips therefore allow payments to include tips. We offer two different scenarios where you can enable the option to display it on your screen after the customer’s approval.
- Enable the Collect Tips toggle to unlock:
- Tipping percentage amount
- Allow custom amounts
- Round Tip Up
Once enabled, this option disables all other tipping options and asks the cardholder if they wish to have a tip automatically added to the amount necessary to round up to the nearest full amount.
More specifically:
if the integer amount is below 20 and the decimal amount below 0.50, then the round up should be to the nearest integer amount, so 8.49 would become 9.00
if the integer amount is below 20 and the decimal amount above or equal to 0.50, then the round up should be to the second nearest integer amount, so 8.67 would become 10.00
if the integer amount is above or equal to 20 and the decimal amount below 0.50, then the round up should be to the second nearest integer amount, so 21.49 would become 23.00
if the integer amount is above or equal to 20 and the decimal amount above or equal to 0.50, then the round up should be to the third nearest integer amount, so 21.67 would become 24.00
if the integer amount is above or equal to 40 and the decimal amount below 0.50, then the round up should be to the third nearest integer amount, so 41.49 would become 44.00
if the integer amount is above or equal to 40 and the decimal amount above or equal to 0.50, then the round up should be to the fourth nearest integer amount, so 41.67 would become 45.00
